Menu listing with parent as first position

(Tony Kidman) #1

Hi all,

 

first time posting so hope i'm doing so in the right section.

 

I am trying to create a menu structure that places the parent asset at the top of the listing while including child and nested child assets.  This structure is also replicated in the footer in an expanded (all items visible not dropdown) format so i would like this to be a reusable asset.

 

The structure is odd in that the parent is the first asset in the main navigation so I need to differentiate between child assets at two separate levels as below.

 

  • Home page 
    • child menu item 1
    • child menu item 2
  • Second item
    • child menu item 3
    • child menu item 4
  • Third item
    • child menu item 5
    • child menu item 6

However the asset tree structure is as below:

  • Home page
    • child menu item 1
    • child menu item 2
    • Second item
      • child menu item 3
      • child menu item 4
    • Third item
      • child menu item 5
      • child menu item 6

I had though to create 3 x asset listings however this can be messy and the only other solution I had was to create a link asset under the home page that had a url pointing to the home page (parent) and then nesting the child 1 and 2 pages under this.

 

Unfortunately this is a structure I cannot change easily as it has been through the approval processes.  I also don't want to change things too much as i don't want to push out the URL's anymore than they need to.

 

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Not sure what you mean by nested children, do you simply mean "third level children"?

 

If you could post a screenshot or structure of your asset tree of your site as it stands? I'm finding it hard to understand your current structure and your desired structure on the front end.

 

But my best guess is that Second item and Third item are actually children of the Home page, but you want them displayed as siblings of the Home page?
